[Pen/Pencil Review] .50 Caliber Purpleheart Wood Ballpoint Pen by Lehr Arts
A Facebook comment said, “Heavy round for heavy words”. Or so I can hope, maybe. This Lehr Arts ballpoint pen is hand -crafted by Aaron T. Lehr in Austin, TX. I do like buying one off pens on occasion, especially if it supports an independent artist. This pen is made from a .50 caliber bullet […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel RSVP Ballpoint
I’ve probably written about these before, but I’m drawing a blank today… so bear with me if this is a “re-review” or a revisit to my favorite ballpoint pen. Yes, I have a favorite ballpoint pen – at least my favorite to date… The Pentel R.S.V.P. fine point. This is an inexpensive “everyday” pen that […]
My plate…it overfloweth with things to do. So this week’s pen blog is a “Wish List” post. Things I’m looking forward to trying out when I can make it happen – and the blame lies FIRMLY on JetPens.com. THIS IS NOT A REVIEW. I HAVE NOT USED THE PRODUCTS MENTIONED – YET. I’ve won several […]
[SQUEAL!] My Name with Shatner and Tapping IN VARIETY!!!
Variety – THE VARIETY – has a story going about William Shatner and his animated series – Shatner toon lets the audience drive ‘Zenoids’ uses social networking to select creatives.

[Pen/Pencil Review] The TWSBI Diamond 540
A couple of weeks back my household had debacle with the post office. Much of our mail went astray (some still lingers in limbo). One piece of mail slipped past the Event Horizon to make it into our possession… the delivery of our TWSBI Diamond 540s EF nibs. Jimmy ordered the clear for himself and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] [Writer Blog] The Dallas Pen Show
This week, I’m actually going to combine pen blog with writer blog. Mostly because I participated in TWO conventions this weekend (one only for a limited amount of time), and this second one had bearing on both writing and pens. I participated in FenCon and The Dallas Pen Show – thankfully they were on opposite […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot G2 Family Comparison – G2 vs. G2 Pro vs. G2 Limited
This is a busy week so this is kind of thrown together. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Pilot pens and ink. The G2 is my go to ink. I do wish the 0.38 points came in all the colors and not just blue, black, red, and green. So what’s left to say? […]
[Pen and Pencil Review] The Pilot Bottle to Pen Pens
Staples had a “Back to School” sale on the Pilot B2P (Bottle to Pen) pens a few weeks ago. I know I’m behind on my review of it – lots of other people have already talked about this pen, but I finally got to try it out. I’m a huge fan of Pilot products, and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The UNI Kuru Toga .05mm Mechanical Pencil
My husband ordered a UNI Kuru Toga .05mm pencil and then gave it to me. It’s an intriguing concept, I have to admit, and I was happy to give it a shot. Of course, being ordered by my husband, he bought the black body. I would’ve gone for the green… UNI (Uni-Ball) designed the Kuru […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Sharpie Liquid Pencil
My friend, Meredith, asked me if I’ve reviewed the Sharpie Liquid Pencil yet. I haven’t, and in fact, I hadn’t used the Liquid Pencil in a while and had to go find it in my massive stash of pens and pencils – or, more accurately, I purloined my husband’s from his desk. We both played […]
